• Abstract: This article introduces the concepts of multi-observables and multi-instruments in quantum mechanics. A multi-observable $A$ (multi-instrument $\mathcal{I}$) has an outcome space of the form $\Omega =\Omega _1\times\cdots\times\Omega _n$ and is denoted by $A_{x_1\cdots x_n}$ ($\mathcal{I}_{x_1\cdots x_n}$) where $(x_1,\ldots ,x_n)\in\Omega$. We also call $A$ ($\mathcal{I}$) an $n$-observable ($n$-instrument) and when $n=2$ we call $A$ ($\mathcal{I}$) a bi-observable (bi-instrument). We point out that bi-observables $A$ ($\mathcal{I}$) and bi-instruments have been considered in past literature, but the more general case appears to be new. In particular, two observables (instruments) have been defined to coexist or be compatible if they possess a joint bi-observable (bi-instrument). We extend this definition to $n$ observables and $n$ instruments by considering joint marginals of $n$-observables and joint reduced marginals of $n$-instruments. We show that a $n$-instrument measures a unique $n$-observable and if a finite umber of instruments coexist, then their measured observables coexist. We prove that there is a close relationship between a nontrivial $n$-observable and its parts. Moreover, a similar result holds for instruments. We next show that a natural definition for the tensor product of a finite number of instruments exist and possess reasonable properties. We then discuss sequential products of a finite number of observables and instruments. We present various examples such as Kraus, Holevo and L\"uders instruments.

• A Unified Framework for Uniform Signal Recovery in Nonlinear Generative Compressed Sensing [68.80803866919123]
  Under nonlinear measurements, most prior results are non-uniform, i.e., they hold with high probability for a fixed $mathbfx*$ rather than for all $mathbfx*$ simultaneously. Our framework accommodates GCS with 1-bit/uniformly quantized observations and single index models as canonical examples. We also develop a concentration inequality that produces tighter bounds for product processes whose index sets have low metric entropy.

  We define the probability that an effect occurs when the system is in a state $rho$ by $P_rho (a)= tr(rho a)$. We then consider L"uders and Holevo operations. We show that two observables $B$ and $C$ are jointly commuting if and only if there exists an atomic observable $A$ such that $B=(Bmid A)$ and $C=(Cmid A)$.

We extend to new spaces a recent line of work citeEI22, CHP, VZ22 that gave similarly efficient methods for learning low-degrees on hypercubes and observables on qubits.

  We provide a systematic treatment of boundaries based on subgroups $Ksubseteq G$ with the Kitaev quantum double $D(G)$ model in the bulk. The boundary sites are representations of a $*$-subalgebra $Xisubseteq D(G)$ and we explicate its structure as a strong $*$-quasi-Hopf algebra. As an application of our treatment, we study patches with boundaries based on $K=G$ horizontally and $K=e$ vertically and show how these could be used in a quantum computer

• Uncertainties in Quantum Measurements: A Quantum Tomography [52.77024349608834]
  The observables associated with a quantum system $S$ form a non-commutative algebra $mathcal A_S$. It is assumed that a density matrix $rho$ can be determined from the expectation values of observables. Abelian algebras do not have inner automorphisms, so the measurement apparatus can determine mean values of observables.
